FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

There were no material findings of noncompliance disclosed during our audit tests. We commend the Legislative Research Unit for maintaining an effective system of internal controls.

AUDITOR'S OPINION

We conducted a compliance audit of the Legislative Research Unit as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act. The Unit had no locally held, federal or State trust funds. Consequently, there were no financial statements requiring a financial audit leading to an opinion.
